- Japanese Kokai Publication Hei-10-139964 discloses a resin composition comprising an aromatic ring-containing non-silicone resin rendered flame retardancy with a silicone resin having T and D units.
- the present inventors made various investigations on silicone compounds having various compositions and, as a result, succeeded in synthesizing silicone compounds highly effective in attaining flame retardancy at low addition levels by strictly controlling the composition of the silicone compound to be used as a flame retardant and they have now completed the present invention.
- the present invention is concerned with a flame retardant comprising an aromatic group-containing organosiloxane compound
- R 1 and R 2 each may contain two or more species.
- m and n are numbers satisfying 1.1 ⁇ m+n ⁇ 1.7 and 0.4 ⁇ n/m ⁇ 2.5.
- the flame retardant of the invention comprises an aromatic group-containing organosiloxane compound.
- the aromatic ring-containing organosiloxane compound is a polymer formed from at least one of the four constituent units, namely the Q unit (SiO 2 ), T unit (RSiO 1.5 ), D unit (R 2 SiO) and M unit (R 3 SiO 0.5 ), wherein R represents an aromatic hydrocarbon group and/or an aliphatic hydrocarbon group.
- the aromatic group-containing organosiloxane compound according to the present invention satisfies all the following requirements (1) to (5).
- That “it has the mean composition formula (1)” means that the aromatic group-containing organosiloxane compound meets the following requirements. Thus, it has both the univalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group R 1 containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms and the univalent aromatic hydrocarbon group R 2 containing 6 to 24 carbon atoms within the molecule thereof, that the mole ratio m+n between all these hydrocarbon groups and the number of Si atoms is within the range of 1.1 ⁇ m+n ⁇ 1.7 and that the mole ratio n/m between the univalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group R 1 containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms and the univalent aromatic hydrocarbon group R 2 containing 6 to 24 carbon atoms is within the range of 0.4 ⁇ n/m ⁇ 2.5.
- the proportions of each element and each hydrocarbon group are calculated based on the NMR for hydrogen, carbon and silicon.
- the univalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group R 1 containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms is not particularly restricted but there may be specifically mentioned, for example, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl and like groups. Among these, methyl and ethyl groups are preferred because of good flame retardant effects, and methyl group is more preferred.
- the plurality of R 1 may be all the same or may contain different groups. When the number of carbon atoms in the aliphatic hydrocarbon group is 5 or more, the flame retardant effects of the aromatic group-containing organosiloxane compound itself decrease, hence the flame retardant effects decrease.
- the univalent aromatic hydrocarbon group R 2 containing 6 to 24 carbon atoms is not particularly restricted but there may be specifically mentioned, for example, phenyl, methylphenyl, dimethylphenyl, ethylphenyl, naphthyl, anthracenyl and like groups. Among these, aromatic groups having no substituent on the aromatic ring are preferred because of good flame retardant effects. Phenyl group is more preferred.

- the aromatic group-containing organosiloxane compound according to the present invention to meet the above requirements (2) to (5), it is generally necessary that the compound contain a considerable proportion of the M unit within the molecule thereof. Therefore, for obtaining a composition satisfying the relation 1.1 ⁇ m+n ⁇ 1.7, a structure mainly comprising the T unit in addition to the M unit is preferred. In cases where the D unit occurs, it is possible to obtain a composition satisfying the relation 1.1 ⁇ m+n ⁇ 1.7 by causing the Q unit to occur.

- n/m is less than 0.4, the univalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group R 1 becomes abundant within the molecule and, on that occasion, the heat resistance of the aromatic group-containing organosiloxane compound decreases, so that compounds occurring as liquids at room temperature may easily be obtained, and/or the flame retardancy of the aromatic group-containing organosiloxane compound itself lowers, thus decreasing the flame retardant effects of the aromatic group-containing organosiloxane compound may be caused.
- n/m is not less than 2.5, the univalent aromatic hydrocarbon group R 2 becomes abundant within the molecule and, on that occasion, the heat resistance of the aromatic group-containing organosiloxane compound will be excessively improved, so that compounds occurring as solids at 200° C. or as liquids having a very high viscosity may be obtained, thus decreasing flame retardant effects of the aromatic group-containing organosiloxane compound may be caused.
- the value of n/m is preferably 0.43 ⁇ n/m ⁇ 2.3, more preferably 0.45 ⁇ n/m ⁇ 2.1, still more preferably 0.47 ⁇ n/m ⁇ 2.0.

- the value of n/m for obtaining the optimum dispersibility may vary according to the resin species, the dispersibility of the aromatic group-containing organosiloxane compound can be improved and high flame retardant effects can be obtained by selecting a higher value of n/m within the above range when the proportion of aromatic rings occurring in the resin employed is large, or by selecting a lower value of n/m within the above range when the proportion of aromatic rings occurring in the resin is small.
- the method which comprises selecting the mole ratio m+n between all hydrocarbon groups and Si atoms at a lower level within the range of 1.1 ⁇ m+n ⁇ 1.7, the method which comprises selecting the mole ratio n/m between the univalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group R 1 containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms and the univalent aromatic hydrocarbon group R 2 containing 6 to 24 carbon atoms at a higher level within the range of 0.4 ⁇ n/m ⁇ 2.5 and the method which comprises selecting the molecular weight of the aromatic group-containing organosiloxane compound at a level as high as possible within the preferred range.
